What helps
After laser, peels or microneedling, the skin is healing and more sensitive than usual. For the first days the aim is calm, moist and protected skin.
Use a gentle cleanser and a bland moisturizer, avoid active products such as retinoids and acids until your clinician says so, and keep the skin out of the sun.
Follow the aftercare you were given for your treatment. Contact the clinic if you notice increasing pain, swelling, blistering or signs of infection.
